eWarna, the global leader in online collaboration solutions, has released version 2.0 of XMatch, its web-based colour workflow application, which it claimed speeds up the colour submission and quality control processes.
eWarna’s web-based solution also improves communication and collaboration within the ‘colour supply chain’ in the textile and apparel industries.
XMatch 2.0 links to PLM (product lifecycle management), CAD (computer-aided design) and other supply chain solutions.
Typically, a colour-management system used for colour approval works with data that is also used in PLM solutions with only the actual colour reflectance measurement being unique to the colour manager, the company informed. Without an easy link, this data must be retyped for every colour approval.
Having an API (application programming interface) that most industry-leading PLM solutions can communicate with, ‘jobs’ or specifications created by designers and merchandisers on the PLM side could be directed to automatically create colour jobs for matching approval in XMatch.
Colourists and dyers throughout the supply chain can use XMatch to manage their digital lab dip approvals, bulk approvals, bulk sorting and so on, with the API ensuring that the status of each stage is also presented in the PLM tracking module, the Multimedia Super Corridor-status company claimed.
According to Richard Lawn, Chief Strategy Officer of eWarna, the new version can save up to 75 percent of colour approval workload for major specifiers already running it on its own.
Apart from high network visibility and customisable workflow, XMatch 2.0 has added new tools like bulk colour approval, unlimited reports creation and support for multiple report formats.
Powered by eWarna’s Online Color eXchange (OCX) technology, an Internet platform that facilitates color communication, Xmatch has proven success in reducing color development lead times in the Textile and Apparel sector. It is equally applicable to any color critical industry.
